Scanner: Dump truck crashes, overturns near Leithsville Fire Station

A dump truck crashed into a pickup truck and overturned Tuesday morning on Leithsville Road in Lower Saucon Township, knocking down utility poles and almost crashing into the recently re-opened Leithsville Fire Station, according to scanner reports.

The crash happened around 9 a.m. on Leithsville Road, near Apples Church Road, according to scanner reports. The crash was initially reported with entrapment, but both drivers were out of their vehicles when emergency crews arrived. A small fire was extinguished.

The crash happened just in front of Leithsville Fire Station, which was destroyed over two years ago when a truck crashed into the building, setting off a massive fire that killed one person.
